Historical details

The GTUW coal wagon was designed in 1938 by Werkspoor in a collaboration with NS for the transportation of rubble stone. It was constructed out of steel and had four doors on each side, as opposed to the older wooden wagons with only two, which in return greatly shortened the unloading time. Due to their higher walls, these steel wagons could also hold 20 tonnes more than the old wooden wagons.

Over 5000 wagons would be produced with various design differences (such as the GTU, GTUK, GTM, GTO & GTOW). Once again, in 1951, based on the GTUW design, Werkspoor constructed the Tbs rolling roof wagons, with a roof that could be slid open to one side. This made it a lot more convenient than the GSDW covered wagon for example, because the loading area was a lot larger. A single wagon of the series, NS 40682, has been preserved at the Veluwsche Stoomtrein Maatschappij.
